Ideal Steel Buildings

Its so funny that someone can sit back and insult a person for working 3 jobs to support his family. These people probably sit at home collecting their entitlements paid for by hard working people like the young man that runs this business. We purchased a beautiful building and he was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable with his product. I dont think he would use the term ""portable"" with his structures he uses the term non permanent. There is a big difference for those people willing to listen. Dont insult hard working people just because you are not one of them. more

I am all for free enterprise and expanding ones business, but what the heck does someone who sells cars know about building a garage. So let me ask you this; who do you go see when you have a tooth ache? A podiatrist (that?s a foot doctor by the way)? NO you go to the dentist. So how is it that a used car lot owner thinks he knows anything about selling buildings? So here is a little suggestion: If you are going to expand your USED CAR LOT, don?t you think you would research just a little about what you THINK you?re going to be selling. This company has no idea what the rules are about these buildings. It is so confusing, they say no permits are required, but my county says YES you must have a permit. I budgeted for a project based on the price of what I wanted then come to find out that there are hidden fees they did not discuss with me. I don?t care if this was an accident, or on purpose or just ignorance of the law. These fees could be well over $500 extra. HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THAT? Buyers beware, do your research. Save yourself the headaches. more

Permit is Required! I called Ideal Steel Buildings to find out a little information about what was required for haivng one os these structures installed. Wanted to find out if I needed a permit to have one, unfortunately they are not educated or do not care. These structures are not considered portable; they are considered accessory structure by counties and cities. Accessory structures are required to obtain a permit. The other thing is that this company does not install the buildings they are installed by American Carports. The contractor is located in North Carolina. When you call this establishment they don't even answer the phone with ""Ideal Steel Buildings"" they are a used car lot, insurance agent, and now a CHEAP carport dealer. I am all for getting the most for my money, but going with a company like this will end up costing more money than you orignally planned! more
